A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 916

"Hmph! It's just a game. What's the big deal?" Wilhelmina sneered. However, deep down, she had already decided never to play "World Empire" again.

She suddenly realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the level that Jack had attained. And she couldn't accept the fact that in some areas, she was outdone by someone she despised.

Nelson had a dark look on his face. He was feeling infuriated to see the Dream Squad he had high hopes for get humiliated.

As the crowd in the gaming cafe clapped for Jack, Nelson lost the courage to challenge him. He sighed and turned to Wilhelmina.

"Forget it. This game is pointless. Let's go play billiards in the next room."

With that, he casually placed his hand on Wilhelmina's shoulder, a move that made others wonder about their relationship. Were they close friends—or something more?

Jack narrowed his eyes. Despite his constant tension with Wilhelmina, the fact was, she was still, on paper, his fiancée—at least until their engagement, arranged by their families, was officially annulled.

Yet, his fiancée was being affectionate with another man in front of him. Wouldn't Jack be humiliated?

As Wilhelmina walked forward, she felt Jack's piercing gaze on her and instinctively turned around. She froze for a moment, then quickly turned back.

She didn't know why, but there was something unnerving about the way Jack was looking at her. It caused an inexplicable panic in her chest. Without thinking, she subtly pulled her arm away from Nelson's.

Shortly after, Wilhelmina began to wonder why she was even afraid of Jack's gaze. Was she really that weak?
